Default Casablanca Weird F1 Racing Coincidence

I don't know how I managed to make it through 40 years of my life without seeing the movie Casablanca.

Well.. I'm watching the movie and realizing that they have two main characters with peculiar names. One of the characters is named Signor Ferrari and the other is Capt. Renault. I just thought that it was little bizarre that this big F1 fan is now watching a movie released in 1942 and two of the characters are named Ferrari and Renault.

I know.. It's stupid, but it stuck me as an odd coincidence because I could've seen the movie any time up until this point in my life and I just happened to decide to watch it when Renault and Ferrari are in the middle of a heated battle for the F1 championship.

any Boggy fan knows Casablanca. It is also one of the original chick flicks.

That's probably why I haven't seen it until now.
